Changing an administrator’s password

The admin administrator and administrators with read and write permissions can change their own account passwords.

Administrators with read-only permissions cannot change their own password. Instead, the admin administrator must change the password for them.

To change the administrator account password

1Go to System > Admin > Administrators.

2Select the Change Password icon.

3Enter the old password for confirmation.

4Enter the new password and confirm the spelling by entering it again.

5Select OK.

Access Profile

Only the admin administrator has access to all configuration areas of a FortiAnalyzer unit by default. Every other administrator must be assigned an access profile.

Access profiles define administrator privileges to parts of the FortiAnalyzer configuration. For example, you can have a profile where the administrator only has read and write access to the reports, or assign read-only access to the content archive logs.

You can create any number of access profiles. For each profile, you can define what access privileges are granted. Administrator accounts can only use one access profile at a time.
